Can I run pytest automatically before merging a git branch?▼

Yes, you can run pytest automatically before merging a git branch. The workflow verifies your tests first, ensuring code quality and preventing accidental data loss or merge conflicts before presenting integration options.

What is the best way to manage git worktrees and discard unnecessary changes?▼

Managing git worktrees and discarding changes requires a cleanup workflow that safely removes temporary worktrees. You can select to discard work entirely, keeping your development environment tidy without losing main branch integrity.

Does this branch finalization workflow require standard Git command-line tools?▼

Yes, this branch finalization workflow requires Git command-line tools and adherence to standard Git workflows. It is designed for post-implementation scenarios where code is ready for integration into a main branch.

How do I create a pull request after verifying tests on my development branch?▼

To create a pull request after verifying tests, the workflow automatically runs your suite and presents clear choices. You simply select the PR option from the integration menu to safely finalize your development branch.

Why run tests before choosing to merge or keep a git branch?▼
